Asian air traffic could be heading for 'catastrophic gridlock,' aviation experts warned, urging the region's
countries to cooperate more, dpa cited The Straits Times as reporting Monday.
Air passenger traffic in the Asia-Pacific region is to grow by 5.7
per cent a year between 2013 and 2017, compared with 3.9 per cent
annually in Europe and 3.6 per cent in North America, the
International Air Transport Association was quoted as saying.
'The situation right now is barely tolerable in some pockets of the
region,' said Hsin Chen Chung, head of the Air Traffic Management
Research Institute at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University
(NTU).
Countries should work together to deal with the increasing demand for
international and domestic air travel in the region, he was quoted as
saying.
